Hi!

I've just tried to work with bash on my Win95 system and was wondering
if bash supports the long filenames of the windows -Fat system.

I faced the problem that bash doesn't execute a script file from within
bash (means I'm in bash and want to execute e.g. ./configure) which
exeeds the old 8.3 dos format- (although i can envoke configure from a
dos shell with bash configure).

Are there any solutions out there -perhaps a win95 bash or the long
filename support already included?

I use a
GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1) r3 w/multibyte extension
version

Thanks in advance

Michi
